Classic cottage cheese cheesecakes in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. The key to delicious cheesecakes is high-quality cottage cheese. Be sure to take natural cottage cheese, without milk fat substitute. In my opinion, cheesecakes from a fatter cottage cheese are 9-18% tastier. Eggs also use large, fresh, preferably homemade. I prefer to fry cheesecakes in any vegetable oil, but you can also fry them in butter and ghee.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mash the cottage cheese with a fork. Look at the consistency of the cottage cheese: if it is like with grains, then it is best to rub it through a fine sieve, then the texture of the cottage cheese will become more homogeneous.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drive an egg into the cottage cheese.

4. Step 4:

   

   Stir everything well with a fork.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add salt and mix again.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add sugar. I use ordinary white sugar, but you can also cook with brown sugar - it will give the cheesecakes a caramel taste. Also at this stage, you can add some of your favorite flavors to the dough. Vanilla or vanilla sugar, as well as cinnamon - children especially like pastries with the smell of vanilla.

8. Step 7:

   

   Sift flour (leave 1 tbsp flour for breading). I recommend not to neglect this process, because during sifting, the flour is saturated with oxygen and the finished cheesecakes will turn out more airy and tender. I also recommend using flour not of the highest, but of the first and second grade in baking, because flour of the highest grade is often bleached with chlorine. Mix the dough well.

9. Step 8:

   

   Take some dough, form a small cake.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll in the remaining flour from all sides. So use all the dough.

11. Step 10:

    

    Heat the oil well in a frying pan. If you cook with vegetable oil, use refined oil - it will not burn in the pan. Lay out the cheesecakes and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes on one side.

12. Step 11:

    

    Then carefully turn the cheesecakes over and cook for 7-10 minutes as well. You may need to cover the pan with a lid and bring the cheesecakes to full readiness so that the middle is also baked.

13. Step 12:

    

    Serve cheesecakes for breakfast, afternoon tea or just for tea. Bon appetit!
